LUXE GLASSWARE
Finish your winter dinner party tablescape with luxe stylish glassware – whether it's glasses ideal for toasting festive days ahead or a statement vase as an eye-catching centrepiece to showcase your favourite seasonal blooms. Upgrade your table setting with the addition of luxe tumblers, wine glasses or champagne coupes, perfect for serving up your favourite festive cocktails and tipples - or used for other soft drinks on the daily.
LAY YOUR TABLE AHEAD OF TIME
Just before your guests are due to arrive is when it will probably be when you'll be the busiest and also the most stressful part of the night. So to save yourself time and stress running around trying to lay the table before their arrival, we recommend laying your winter dinner table setting just before you start cooking, or even the evening before, to give you plenty of time to enjoy the set-up process and get creative.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT MUSIC
The right dinner party music can have a big impact on the atmosphere and mood of your party so it’s important to choose or create the perfect playlist. Aim for something that’s easy to listen to that will suit the mood.
GET DECORATIVE
Add a sense of festive ambience and warmth to your dining table décor with spruces of seasonal flowers, dried or fresh, and rustic accents, like crisp natural linens. Decorate your table setting with touches of dried flowers and foliage to add colour and a sense of joy to your table – style in spare glasses, a vase, or randomly placed around the table for an uplifting touch.
If you really want to set the ambiance, light a few scented candles. Flickering candlelight adds a warm glow and a festive touch to your space all season long.
DRESS TO IMPRESS
Now that the dinner party setting is ready, it's time to focus on your look. Step into the season with confidence and elegance by choosing the perfect outfit for any festive occasion.
